@oncemoreuntothejimbreech – yeah, no one is signing that with the idea that the media is the third party they’re consenting to. And who’s to say they even signed that. And if I did, the team would never do that. If I’m a player, I’m not. Regular people do because we don’t read things and just sign away our lives for public sale for which we get no money (which is a whole other tangent I'll just drop now).
@3wt – Evans: I like him thus far. But I also liked how Dawson looked his rookie camp/preseason. We’ll have to see how he develops, if he does. So that background gives me a little bit of pause.
Minter: He was signed to be the MLB in base. I feel he is faster than Maualuga, and he gets to the right spot, at the right time, and is a sure tackler. He was not signed to play nickel and cover tight ends … but when they pass out of the 4-3 and he’s asked to be there, I don’t think he’s leaving a TE or RB just wide open.
Tupou: They like him. He doesn’t make the team, but is a priority PS signing.
Glasgow: Not sure if he’s “special” but he’s flashed enough. He’s on the team, likely inactive every week if Sims/Billings healthy all year.
Other “standouts” – Josh Malone is more polished than I thought he’d be as a receiver. Joe Mixon is the real deal.
@BoomerFan – I think the team showed you vs. Washington by having Andre Smith play left tackle the entire half. Kent Perkins definitely not on the 53-man roster. Waiver claims can be rare, but remember – they claimed Driskel and Russell. Duke Tobin breaks the whys and hows on that, here. It’s about talent at that point, not cohesion:

@OBXBengal – thanks for watching! Yeah, I think we’ll kind of have to adjust the set as we go with the new location. Thanks for the feedback!
